About Us

Hungryroot is using AI to build the most consumer-centric food and wellness company to ever exist. We act as your personal assistant for healthy living—getting to know your goals, lifestyle, and budget, and recommending and delivering healthy groceries, easy recipes, and essential supplements for you and your family.

It’s the easiest way to eat healthy, achieve your goals, save time, and discover new foods.

That’s why we’re building a future in which healthy living is both easy and enjoyable.

Hungryroot is a distributed team of top talent across 28+ U.S. states. While we have a headquarters in New York City, our remote-first culture emphasizes collaboration, team-building, and flexibility. Expect regular virtual team events, strong ownership and accountability, and an annual company retreat.

About the role

We are looking for a Director or Senior Director of Performance Marketing to lead our offline and partnership channel strategy. This is a high-impact, high-ownership role for a data-obsessed marketer who thrives at the intersection of creative storytelling, rigorous measurement, and AI-powered efficiency.

You will own Hungryroot’s most ambitious acquisition channels—TV/CTV, Direct Mail, Influencer, Affiliate, and Podcast—while keeping a sharp eye on new channel opportunities as the business scales. You’ll work on a lean team, which means you’ll need to bring both strategic vision and hands-on execution, leveraging AI tools to maximize your team’s output and speed.

You’ll report into senior marketing leadership and collaborate closely with Creative, Data Science, Finance, and Growth teams to drive measurable, scalable customer acquisition. If you are energized by building in ambiguous spaces, passionate about measurement and attribution, and genuinely excited about using AI to do more with less, we want to hear from you.

Responsibilities

Channel Ownership & Strategy

  • Own end-to-end strategy, planning, and execution across TV/CTV, Direct Mail, Influencer, Affiliate, and Podcast channels—managing budgets, vendor relationships, and performance with a clear eye on efficiency and growth.
  • Develop annual and quarterly channel plans with clear growth targets, budget allocations, and measurement frameworks, and present these to senior leadership.
  • Balance direct response objectives with upper-funnel investment, understanding how brand awareness and consideration drive downstream acquisition and LTV—and making the case for the right mix at any given stage of growth.
  • Continuously evaluate the channel landscape and proactively identify new channel opportunities that could expand reach or improve efficiency; build the business case and lead pilots when the time is right.
  • Negotiate and manage relationships with media partners, agencies, influencer talent, affiliate networks, and direct mail vendors.

Performance & Measurement

  • Build and own a rigorous measurement and attribution framework across all channels, including incrementality testing, media mix modeling, and channel-level ROAS/CAC tracking.
  • Partner with Data Science and Analytics to design holdout tests, geo-based experiments, and lift studies that inform budget allocation across the portfolio.
  • Establish clear KPIs and pacing dashboards for each channel; proactively identify underperformance and course-correct quickly.
  • Translate complex performance data into clear, executive-ready insights and recommendations.

AI & Operational Efficiency

  • Actively integrate AI tools into day-to-day workflows—from creative testing and brief generation to performance reporting, audience modeling, and channel research—enabling a lean team to operate at scale.
  • Identify and pilot emerging AI-enabled marketing technologies that can unlock speed, personalization, or cost efficiency across the channel mix.
  • Build repeatable systems and playbooks that reduce manual work and allow the team to focus on high-leverage decisions.
  • Champion a culture of learning and experimentation, using AI to accelerate test-and-learn cycles.

Creative & Messaging Optimization

  • Deeply value the role that creative and messaging play in channel performance; serve as a strong advocate for quality and relevance even as you stay focused on measurable outcomes.
  • Partner closely with the Product Marketing and Creative teams—bringing channel expertise, audience insights, and performance data to inform briefs and creative direction, without overstepping into their domain.
  • Own a structured creative testing and measurement roadmap across channels, using data to identify what’s working, surface learnings quickly, and create a feedback loop that continuously improves creative effectiveness.
  • Translate performance signals into clear, actionable feedback that helps Creative and Product Marketing teams iterate toward stronger work.

Cross-Functional Leadership

  • Partner closely with Finance on budget forecasting, scenario planning, and CAC targets across the portfolio.
  • Collaborate with the broader Growth and Digital Marketing teams to ensure offline and online channels are coordinated and not cannibalizing one another.
  • Serve as the internal expert on offline channel dynamics, educating stakeholders on attribution nuances, lead times, and media planning considerations.
  • Manage and mentor a small team, setting a high bar for analytical rigor, creative thinking, and AI fluency.

Qualifications

  • 8+ years of experience in procurement, strategic sourcing, or supply/vendor management
  • Proven track record of delivering cost savings and operational improvements at scale
  • Strong negotiation, contract management, and stakeholder management skills
  • Experience partnering with Finance/FP&A on budgeting, forecasting, and ROI analysis
  • Ability to build processes and teams in a high-growth environment
  • Strong analytical skills with comfort working across spend data and vendor economics
  • Experience in consumer, e-commerce, food, or high-growth operating environments is preferred
  • Prior leadership experience building a procurement function from the ground up is a plus

  • Equity 
  • Unlimited vacation policy
  • Universal paid parental leave
  • Monthly Hungryroot credit for delicious, healthy groceries

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
